business card email:juan@hotmail

Question

What's the most common way of putting an email address on a business card in Spain?

Would my example email:[e-mail] be acceptable? Thanks

Answer 1

This one uses e-mail

Answer 2

As does this one As Benz said t seems pretty common - just having a whizz through Google's images atleast.

Those telephone numbers look more like it. I think the card above is for someone in the U.S. so I would expect them to use email rather than correo electrónico. I would image that it might be a matter of space. email and address is a lot easier to - 0074b507, Jul 11, 2010

fit on a card than correo electrónico and an address. - 0074b507, Jul 11, 2010

Answer 3

Una business card es una "tarjeta personal" o simplemente "tarjeta".

To write the e-mail you can write:

E-mail: [e-mail]

or

Correo Electrónico: [e-mail]

but the first is more common

Answer 4

No it is incomplete, you need the .com or whatever goes on the end of it.

ah, that's ok, I know that, it's an example. What I mean is, is "email:" acceptable? - lagartijaverde, Jul 10, 2010

No you would put Correo electronico which means email in spanish. - kenwilliams, Jul 10, 2010

Answer 5

Thanks a lot everyone. I hadn't noticed the e hyphen as in e-mail convention. It seems that is the "Globish" version .

I'm going to Menorca for a month in August. I've just completed the High Level Translation course at Cardiff University (Distance Learning), so I'm going to have a tarjeta personal with Spanish on one side and English on the other. I'm going to try to spread my name about in the hope I get translation work.

I think email is slowly supplanting e-mail because so many spell checkers, browsers, URL etc. can't handle words with hypens that well. - 0074b507, Jul 11, 2010

Hey very good point, in fact, I think I'll stick with "email" thanks - lagartijaverde, Jul 11, 2010

I've never seen email (without hyphen). Remember they are in fact two different words... Good luck Birdland!! - Benz, Jul 11, 2010

Yes best wishes Birdland. - kenwilliams, Jul 11, 2010
